Adele's Message

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to check out my Empowered.org fundraising page. I am currently raising money for a research trip with Global Student Embassy to Ecuador (more information about the trip can be found below under the "Volunteer Activity Description"). I'm really excited about this trip because I have decided to pursue environmental studies at Cal and going on this trip is just one way I'm starting to immerse myself in the field. I sincerely appreciate your support whether it is in the form of a donation (small or large, any amount is a good amount!), spreading the word about my fundraising campaign, or simply taking the time to read this. Let me know if you have any questions about this project or my involvement, and thanks again!

P.S. All donations are tax deductible: the tax ID for Global Student Embassy is 27-1662008.

Volunteer Activity Description

TRAVEL.
Traveling with GSE involves everything from visiting a native bird sanctuary to hiking along Ecuador’s beautiful coastline. Students enjoy authentic Ecuadorian cuisine and collaborate on local projects with their international peers.

LEARN.
GSE uses hands-on service-learning projects and cultural exchanges to provide students with life changing learning opportunities. Students develop ecological literacy and participate in grassroots international relations while building crucial 21st century skills such as communication and collaboration.

IMPACT.
Each year during exchange programs, students plant 5,000 native trees in La Punta Gorda Preserve. Students also work along side their Ecuadorian peers at Fanny de Baird High School to further develop their school garden. The garden provides produce for the school community and offers an interactive education on local food systems and organic farming.

GROW.
Plants aren’t the only things that grow! International travel facilitates profound transformation for students. Students leave the trip with a better understanding of different cultures and people, inspiring them to become change makers and leaders in their own community.
